Abstract
An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a housing, and a printed circuit board (PCB) disposed in an inner space of the housing and includes at least one first conductive contact exposed at least partially and electrically connected to a wireless communication circuit; and an antenna structure disposed on the PCB, including at least one first antenna element and at least one second conductive contact exposed at least partially and electrically connected to the at least one first antenna element. The at least one first conductive contact is electrically connected to the at least one second conductive contact when the antenna structure is combined with the PCB. The wireless communication circuit is configured to form a directional beam through the at least one first antenna element.
